Thirsty Crow Brewing Co

Top choice in Southern NSW & The Murray


Come for the tasty beer – the hoppy Dark Alleyway IPA or the Piranha lager are both good choices – and stay for the wood-fired pizzas ($24 to $27). There's serious spicy heat in the Thai chicken pizza. Regular guest taps pour excellent beers and ciders from around Australia, and free brewery tours kick off at 2pm on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
